California Landlord responsibilities

[Fernando Avila]

I live in Los Angeles county and I'm looking to buy rental property. I am searching outside of Los Angeles due to the high prices and competition here. I am interested in knowing what I would have to take care of for a tenant such as utilities like water, sewage, landscaping etc. I am concerned about this because I know people can be careless with their water consumption and don't like the idea of having to pay for a tenants negligence. I don't mind working around someone's needs. Thank you for shedding light on the issue.
